Ped,
We were contacted by a climber and neighbor from this thread who was happy to get into contact with us. We also have a meeting with another neighbor who wanted to talk to us this week. Can you give us an example of how we hit people where they live please. Thanks.

AG, yes
Hypocrisy would be Marc buying 10 acres and then subdividing it, or protesting zoning laws preventing him from subdividing it because it decreases the value of his land. Living on a 0.4 acre parcel is hardly "hypocrisy at it's (sic) finest".
By your logic, then, the only people who can advocate for zoning in the area around the ridge that prevents subdivision are the people wealthy enough to afford owning and living on large acreages?
Also, if you don't actually know the info about the Haviland parcel, why have you been going on and on about it? Aya, A person who lives on .40 and advocates that others should build on larger lots is Hypocrisy. We have lots of info on the Haviland Parcel but we have to put our hands on it and scan it etc. It's not the only file we have, but rest assured it will be posted this week. Thanks. MPNA

We seem to have entered Absurdland.
People, we have two choices
1) We give up debating Chris, Mike or whoever is behind the keyboard on a given day. I favor this. We had a quiet couple of days while they passed the keyboard around.
2) Continue this go-around. No one wins, names are called, tempers flare. Its mildly entertaining.
Ok, my final words on this.
I can accept, hypothetically, that the Preserve continues to act in a self-interested way in which the neighbors may be disadvantaged. This is reasonable, given the clear finding in the Fink-Pardini case. However, I have no reason to believe, based on what AG has presented, that this pattern continues. The 'case' is based on opinion and innuendo, nevertheless its possible. Requests for clarification have gotten us nowhere for the last six weeks.
Its also clear, because a fragment of the ruling has been published upthread, that the neighbors (Ullrich) are capable of causing 'irreparable harm' to Preserve lands, and so its entirely appropriate that the Preserve should pursue cases against them.
So we have one documented strike in each column.
Bad Preserve, Bad Neighbor.
Chris, we have no choice but to support the Preserve through memberships IF we want to continue to climb, which is the reason we go there in the first place. We can't alter this. You asking us to withhold support or whatever it is you want isn't going to happen. You have personally given us a rationale to big-up additional funds and attempt to earmark them for 'Hostile Acquisitions.' You have to accept that your actions cannot sit well with this community.
Personally, I will try to get the Preserve to uphold its mission and behave in an ethical manner, but please get a survey like your group advocates. And stop chopping down trees like the good judge suggested.

Ianmanger, Thanks for the mostly civil and mostly accurate reply. Imagine how this entire thread might have turned out had you started with a reply like your last. Having said that, we agree that the Mohonk v. Fink was unfortunate to say the least. From our very first post we have asked Mohonk Preserve patrons to wait until the current court cases are complete and IF the ruling favors the Defendants to please stop donating etc... In other words, try and reshape this organization that you value. We were met with some extreme hostility from the get go. This type of response will certainly shape how private landowners allow their land to be used, especially by those who were unreasonably hostile. And come on Ian, the Mohonk Preserve is not the only place to climb. Perhaps a better alternative if climbers feel so limited would be to advocate for other climbing areas to open such as Minnewaska, PIPC etc.. If you want the Mohonk Preserve to uphold their mission statement write a letter or call Glenn Hoagland and tell him how distasteful the lawsuit that you refer to is. This surely would go a long way. As for the tally, we have one documented strike in only the Mohonk Preserve's corner (two if you count the Shawangunk Conservancy lawsuit with all the same parties). Thanks and we look forward to debating the content. MPNA
